Breed Conservation

Okay guys! I need some input. We have been thinking about getting a second breed of chicken to work with. But we don't want just any old breed, we want something to work on and improve upon. Something bantam sized that would be considered 'rare' ... Does not have to be apa recognized the breed would purely for conservation and not profit. We want to help a breed that might be in danger other wise.

What a tough choice. Around here it seems like all bantams are rare excluding Silkies, Brahmas, and Cochins. Do you have any other expectations for your bantams? Winter hardy, broody or not, good egg layers, prefered colors, anything may help you limit it down. lol.
